Texas Governor: ‘The Problem is Not Guns, It’s Hearts Without God’

Ten dead and ten injured in a high school shooting, but Texas Governor Greg Abbott believes “the problem is not guns, it’s hearts without God.”

Calling Friday’s shooting “one of the most heinous attacks that we’ve ever seen in the history of Texas schools,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott told reporters Friday that ten people died after the shooting at Santa Fe High School, a Houston-area high school.

The governor said the suspect had a shotgun and .38 revolver, which appeared to be legally owned by the suspect’s father. He says explosive devices including a molotov cocktail that had been found in the suspected shooter’s home and a vehicle as well as around the school and nearby.

The governor says the suspect said he originally intended to commit suicide but gave himself up and told authorities that he didn’t have the courage to take his own life.

While Abbott did mention the importance of mental health care in his statement, he said little about the dangerous epidemic of gun violence plaguing the nation’s schools.

However, previously Abbott has made it clear where he stands when it comes to gun violence. At the NRA convention in Dallas earlier this month, the Texas governor said religion and the Second Amendment are the best ways to curb gun violence and mass shootings.

I agree with Gov. Abbott. I am really old and have had a gun most of my adult years. As mad and upset I am with most dems and libs, that gun has NEVER shot them.

It’s the devaluation of life. The repercussions for murder are 3 meals a day, a gym, cable and internet for 15 years.

The problem is an out of control intelligence agency who manufactures fake gun murders as part of the globalist disarming agenda.
